Immigration Hearings etc.

The subject of illegal immigration has drawn more than 50 congressional hearings since the beginning of the 109th Congress in February of 2005.

With the prospects of even more hearings, six more already scheduled for this July, some are calling this a political maneuver to stall legislation to help the Republicans in the November elections.

Most Democrats and some few Republicans are calling the hearings politically motivated and are not necessarily called for the act of fact finding.

Some even say that the citizens of the US are being used as a "smoke screen" to cover up the real reason for holding so many hearings.

Some of the hearings supposedly have been schedule as a chance to hear from the citizen population.

Maybe by the end of the year we will understand what is really taking place.



Another subject: Sales Tax Holiday - NC

We just wanted to remind everyone here in North Carolina and in some others states that the Sales Tax Holiday will be coming up before long.

Certain items of tangible personal property sold between 12:01 AM on the first Friday in August and 11:59 PM the following Sunday will be exempt from sales taxes.

The dates in 2006 are from Friday August 4th through Sunday, August 6th.
Plan to take advantage of this once a year tax exemption. It can be a big help when you purchase your back to school items.
